商品描述
It is difficult to precisely define Information Systems Engineering. Roughly speaking, it is an interdisciplinary field focusing on designing, developing, implementing, and managing complex IT systems that meet specific organizational needs, bridging the gap between technology and business by applying engineering principles to create efficient, reliable solutions for data processing, decision-making, and operations, integrating software, hardware, data, processes and people. It emphasizes understanding business requirements, managing databases, ensuring system security, and creating holistic solutions that integrate various technologies for effective problem-solving. This collection of selected papers provides a comprehensive and extremely readable overview of what constitutes Information Systems Engineering and presents retrospective and prospective views on making it increasingly relevant in our society. It covers topics including information systems design; how to articulate research in Information Systems Engineering; the management of time in processes; the management of data quality, both on the Web and in social contexts, and its impact on the AI applications; the servitization of systems and their adaptiveness; the evolution of business process management; cybersecurity; sustainability and energy management in information systems; and the concept of sovereignty in the AI era. Overall, this book is a source of inspiration for everybody working on the vision of creating a strong, fruitful and creative community of information systems engineers. With this book, the editors and authors wish to honor Prof. Barbara Pernici for her enormous and ongoing contributions to the discipline of Information Systems Engineering. It was presented to her on the occasion of her retirement, celebrated during CAiSE 2026 in Verona; CAiSE being a conference that she has contributed to and supported for over 30 years. Thank you very much to Barbara for so many years of inspiration, cooperation, and friendship.

資訊系統工程的精確定義相當困難。大致而言，它是一個跨學科的領域，專注於設計、開發、實施和管理滿足特定組織需求的複雜資訊科技系統，通過應用工程原則來縮短技術與商業之間的鴻溝，創造高效、可靠的數據處理、決策和運營解決方案，整合軟體、硬體、數據、流程和人員。它強調理解商業需求、管理數據庫、確保系統安全，以及創建整合各種技術的整體解決方案，以有效解決問題。
這本精選論文集提供了資訊系統工程的全面且極具可讀性的概述，並對其在我們社會中日益相關的回顧與展望。內容涵蓋資訊系統設計；如何表達資訊系統工程的研究；流程中的時間管理；數據質量管理，包括在網路和社會背景下的數據質量及其對人工智慧應用的影響；系統的服務化及其適應性；商業流程管理的演變；網路安全；資訊系統中的可持續性與能源管理；以及人工智慧時代的主權概念。總體而言，這本書是所有致力於創建強大、富有成效和創意的資訊系統工程師社群的人的靈感來源。
編輯和作者希望通過這本書向巴巴拉·佩爾尼奇教授致敬，以表彰她對資訊系統工程學科的巨大和持續貢獻。這本書是在她退休之際贈送給她的，慶祝活動於2026年在維羅納舉行的CAiSE會議上進行；CAiSE是她貢獻和支持超過30年的會議。非常感謝巴巴拉這麼多年來的啟發、合作和友誼。
作者簡介
Cinzia Cappiello is an associate professor at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Her research focuses on data and information quality, data architectures and management. She contributed to the assessment and improvement of data quality across Big Data, crowdsourcing, service-based, and Web applications, as well as streaming data. Currently, her research is focused on data preparation and data-centric AI. She obtained her PhD under Barbara's supervision and continues to collaborate with her on various research projects. Marco Comuzzi is an associate professor at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, in Korea. His research focuses on process mining and blockchain systems, most recently concentrating on how large language models help improve and extend process mining functionality. Marco obtained a PhD in information technology under Barbara's supervision in 2007, on the topic of quality negotiation in service-oriented systems. Massimo Mecella is a professor at Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy. His main research interests include information systems engineering, software and service engineering, business process management, application of AI to smart environments (smart factories, smart buildings, space). Recently, he coedited the book on Engineering Information Systems with Large Language Models. Massimo has taken inspiration and collaborated with Barbara Pernici since the time of his PhD. Pierluigi Plebani is an associate professor at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. His research interests include information systems engineering with particular emphasis on multi-party business process monitoring and compliance, as well as on computational data governance in federated settings. He obtained his PhD under Barbara's supervision and has since maintained a collaborative relationship with her on diverse research projects within the field of information systems engineering. Monica Vitali is an associate professor at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Her research interests include adaptive information systems, data management in heterogeneous infrastructures, and energy-aware information systems management. She obtained her PhD in 2014 under Barbara's supervision, and she has been collaborating with her and her group since then.
